Instead of lamenting their defoliated domes, some 1,000 baldies in 42 states and five foreign countries have joined an organization called Bald-Headed Men of America (BHMA). The group, which this month celebrates its first birthday, has a proud credo: If you haven't got it, flaunt...

She tells you how to determine their sex (the last pair of swimmerets on the male are hard, pointed, and hairless). She tells you how to kill them humanely.
